Considering the prices of custom cables, my soldering station has already paid for itself a couple of times over.

Some manufacturers don't steal your wallet but the idea of making my own, playing and trying new things are interesting. However, I am probably the most unexperienced person on the world about those things, so I am gonna need good, clear instructions both to read and watch I think. Anyway there is still a lot of time for it.

I'd love to be able to make my own cables, but between my limited free time and my carpal tunnel issues, it's not going to happen. If anyone in the US would be willing to help me out with a short digital coax cable made with mogami cable and some 3.5mm mono plugs (right angle if possble), please feel free to PM me.

Haha, yeah it sucks. Because you're left with a dirty desoldered plug! I don't even have one of those desoldering devices...

I hate de-soldering, I really take time to think about what I'm doing and make sure everything is in their proper places before start soldering. But still mistakes are made and you end up re-doing things. This is why I always take connectivity testing making sure nothing is shorted before I move to the next step.
